​The Book — The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante

​The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante is a raw and intense novel that follows Olga, a woman whose life is shattered when her husband suddenly leaves her after 15 years of marriage. Set in a sweltering, oppressive summer in Naples, the book dives deep into Olga’s emotional unraveling as she navigates the chaos of abandonment, betrayal, and the disintegration of her identity.

​Ferrante’s narrative explores themes of loss, rage, and the struggle to maintain sanity when faced with profound emotional turmoil. The book is a visceral portrayal of the darkness that can take over when the foundations of one's life crumble, examining the thin line between stability and madness.
